Requirements

You just need xfce4-panel and xfce4-genmon-plugin. Additional requirements are mentioned inside the scripts.

Installation

Clone the project git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/xtonousou/xfce4-genmon-scripts.git.

Add one Generic Monitor for each widget and place it wherever you want.

Finally, edit its properties and add bash /full/path/to/widget-panel.sh. For suggested period(s) and fonts, refer to "Recommended Properties"

TIP: Monitor the CPU and Memory usage of its widget (Generic Monitor) and adjust its properties (increase period)

Workarounds

Smart Watch Battery Panel

In order to use smart-watch-battery-panel.sh you need to use a crontab or a systemd timer to generate the required information.

crontab -e
* * * * * /usr/bin/env bash /path/to/xfce4-genmon-scripts/adb-info.sh $(arp -e -n | awk "/98:28:a6:dd:00:8c/{print \$1}") battery ticwatch
  1. Replace the MAC address with the correct one. Hint: Use arp -n -a to get the MAC address.
  2. Replace the 3rd argument ticwatch, with a unique name that describes your device.
